guardian of the faith of the catholic church and was a strict advocate of celibacy. 8 he criticized the recognition of same sex relationships and condemned doctor super formed abortions. ready benedict sought dialogue with other religions seeking contact with the leaders of the christian orthodox churches. he also try to improve relations with islam and judaism, but also setbacks. for example, when he brought the controversial society a st tires back into the church, even though some of its leaders were anti c mites and holocaust deniers. but it was the child abuse scandals in the church that cost a dog shadow, a benedict bon ticket. more and more cases involving catholic clergy came to light in more and more countries. the pope spoke of his shame and he promised transparency. but his critics said he didn't do enough. years later,

the scandal was to catch up with him again. at the beginning of 2013 benedict received some cardinals in rome. it was a routine meeting that became highly controversial because the pope declared he was stepping down at nab him sung 2 pages dear the church this ship and peter proclaimed the gospel for this strength of body and spirit and necessary as is a strength that has diminished me in recent months to such an existence that i must recognize my inability to continue to carry out properly. the ministry entrusted to me and your denise prevent surprise and dismay. in more than 600 years, no pope had resigned his own volition. there was plenty of sympathy though on sunday the thousands of people came to benedict last audiences. po benedict, left office on february the 28th 2013
